The breakthrough area they chose for the central cluster was the position where the Fourth Regiment of the Japanese 109th Division was stationed.
The Fourth Regiment originally had more than 2,000 people. After such a long battle, the number of troops at this time was only more than 1,800.
Seeing the Soviet armored cluster rushing towards them like a mad bull, the commander of the Fourth Regiment immediately shouted to Yamagang Shihonghou on the intercom: "Division Commander, Division Commander, the enemy's armored cluster is approaching." We charge. They are very fast and we need artillery support."
As soon as he finished speaking, Soviet tanks and armored vehicles began to fire at them.
¡°Boom boom boom!!!!¡± ¡°Da da da da!!!!¡±
The sound of tank guns and heavy machine guns suddenly came from the rear. The Soviet motorized infantry followed these armored vehicles and tanks and opened fire on the Japanese positions.
??The sound of explosions was endless, and hundreds of artillery shells fell on the Japanese position in the blink of an eye. Countless bullets fired warheads one after another into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
On the position of the Fourth Regiment, the Japanese infantry could not even raise their heads. He could only hide in the trench, at least to ensure that he would not be killed directly.
They watched helplessly as bullets flew over their heads, or hit the sandbags above their heads. There were also artillery shells, some of which landed in the trenches and directly blew away the Japanese soldiers hiding inside.
Heads, severed legs and arms were flying everywhere.
But the Japanese troops in these trenches were already a little numb. In the previous nearly month of high-intensity combat, they had seen similar scenes too many times. But this time the enemy's attack seemed much more violent than before.
"Lay the cannon, fire!!" the Japanese squad leaders shouted despite the fierce firepower of the Soviets.
The Japanese soldiers operating the flat-fire cannons also roared and stuffed the shells into the barrels, and then opened fire violently at the advancing Soviet armored forces.
At this time, there was still a long distance between the two sides, but the exchange of fire had already begun in advance.
Shan Gang Chonghou looked at the map with a solemn expression.
Because the troops on the flank just now sent a telegram saying that the enemy's large-scale armored forces were launching a fierce attack on them. At the same time, the central area was also undergoing heavy attacks.
But apart from these few places, the Japanese defense lines in other places did not encounter any attacks at all.
This time the Soviet attack was not a full-line attack, but a fierce attack from three points. It was as if he had concentrated all his strength and turned it into a sharp knife tip to pierce the Japanese shield.
Yamaoka Shigehou looked at the map and realized that he had to make strategic adjustments.
"Immediately order the troops on both wings of the Fourth Regiment to begin to reinforce the Fourth Regiment's position. The troops on the flanks must also withstand the enemy's offensive pressure. The enemy wants to encircle us." Yamaoka Shigehou immediately ordered.
The order was issued quickly. The lower-level commanders of the Japanese army had strong execution capabilities, as did their soldiers. After receiving the order to mobilize, these people began to quickly reinforce the Fourth Regiment's position.
The speed of their support is really fast. It took them less than half an hour to complete the assembly on the front line and rush to the fourth wing's position.
But after they rushed over, they discovered that the Soviet tanks and armored units had rumbled over the Fourth Regiment's position.
And behind these armored vehicles and tanks, infantry and motorized infantry were making final clearing of the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment who were stubbornly resisting in the trenches.
The lack of anti-tank means, coupled with the large-scale armored cluster attack, left the Fourth Regiment with almost no effective way to block the advancement of the Soviet armored forces.
Previously, the Soviet armored forces chose to advance across the entire front, spreading the offensive force. Although it can gain advantages across the board, this advantage is not big enough.
But this time, General Zhukov adjusted his strategy. He needed to gain a very large advantage in local areas. Then, through the huge advantages gained in these local areas, the entire Japanese defense line was torn apart.
Those reinforcing Japanese troops saw this scene and knew that if they rushed over now, they would only give away their lives in vain, so they directly chose to retreat back to their own positions and wait for further orders from above.
hillsHeavy, but underestimated the advancement speed of armored vehicles and tanks used together.
The defense line of the Fourth Regiment was as if it were made of paper. Under the overwhelming strength, it could not even hold on for more than half an hour.
Basically, the Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, carrying motorized infantry, rushed over directly. During this period, the Fourth Regiment's small number of flat-fire artillery, mortars, and mountain artillery were unable to cause much damage to these charging steel behemoths.
Although some tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, among the hundreds of armored vehicles and tank vehicles, this number accounted for too small a proportion.
Most of the death squads prepared by the Fourth Regiment early had been pinned to the ground by heavy machine guns before they could even rush to the tanks. Although some of them rushed over, the number of tanks and armored vehicles they could destroy was too limited.
Behind the motorized infantry were the Soviet infantry who rushed to the position without suffering any casualties.
Because of the lack of effective positional defense, these Soviet infantry were not blocked. They rushed to the position of the Fourth Regiment, and there was only one thing to do, and that was to clean up the remaining Japanese troops in the trenches. Then consolidate the positions you have captured.
As for the steel torrent composed of tanks and armored vehicles, they continued to advance together with the motorized infantry. Other parts of the Soviet infantry continued to follow them, sitting and cleaning up the remaining enemies and consolidating their positions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
